Has it really been that long....May! I finally got around to adding the final touches to the build. It took me literally about an hour to finish.

After fiddling for two hours with my planned install, I went with the front first then the roof and rear pieces put together and shuffled into place.

Just noticed the drill bit you used. What type are they and can I find them? I could use something similar to fix flushed flash. Apparently they are called “brad point” or “w point” bits.

Just realised I forgot to include the progress (sort of) for the upper wing fuel area. The new piece was inserted into the wing and glued section at a time to conform to the wing contour.
